Notes from the Resistance...
Trying to set up the new site has been an exercise in pure frustration. It sure adds a whole new dimension to "A man's gotta know his limitations."
Nothing about it is intuitive. You'd think if you pressed an "Edit" icon you'd be able to edit, or if you tried to delete something it would delete.
I want the simplest site in the world-- a home page, an about page with info and contact, both of which will remain static, and a blog that lets me do regular updates like I do here. They've got so many different things to choose from, none of which explain what they're talking about or define terms they just assume you know. And my personal favorite -- tutorials that tell you to select options that appear nowhere on the page I've accessed.
Word Press has discarded the classic interface and replaced it with a block thingy they say is simpler and has me ready to scream-- I have a few times already. Forget trying to chat or call "tech support"-- they only do tech stuff and I miss half of what they're saying just through accents alone. I think I'm going to need to hire a local to come in for a day to set me up -- I know some of you have kindly offered to advise but that's something I can't do long distance because there's too much I just don't get.
I'm workin' on it. I should be able to do a test post at the new place by the end of the week.
It's been nice having less hectic days at the keyboard, especially with Spring yard work demands, but I do miss posting on a whim. For instance, did everybody catch Hillary flashing a racist hand sign at the Met Gala?
No doubt, there are reasons why citizens should think twice about confronting those committing criminal acts, but prominent among those is that the same “law” that fails to “secure the Blessings of Liberty” will turn on them should they try. [More]
